Read more to explore 5 Female dominated, Arab-owned businesses that started small but are now trending all over the UAE:
LUNAE:
“I was born and raised in Raleigh, NC but I pretty much make sure every person I meet knows about my Lebanese roots!” says Reem Alawar Mosleh, the one-woman show behind her brand, Lunae. Lunae is an accessories brand retailing jewellery like necklaces, earrings, bracelets and more. It started with an idea, like most small businesses do. Her vision is to design minimal jewellery of quality for everyday-wear.
”I’m a big fan of comfort in fashion. Which is why the jewelry I source is always water resistant and truly comfortable to wear throughout the day and night (I literally sleep, workout, and shower in my jewelry).”
Lunae’s gold pieces are minimal while striking an impact. Shop the ‘Clara Earrings’ plated with 14Kt Gold and encrusted with Cubic Zirconia.
TOUCHLESS:
This not-so-small anymore Arab-owned handbag brand has dabbled into sustainable and 3D printed bag design and manufacturing. 2 sisters from Bahrain began this and guarantee all Touchless Designs are 3D printed by local talents – Made 100% in Bahrain. 3D printing in accessory-wear has not been as popular a hit globally as 3D printing is for Ready-To-Wear, but we see this innovation fourshing.
Wear this piece of art with any outfit to amp up it’s look. They come in brights and classy neutrals, for whichever you may prefer. Let the contemporary design speak for itself!
THE CHAIN CO.
Just like the life we imagined after watching The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, this Lebanese owned brand is a small business run by 2 best friends in Dubai. The Chain Co. is a jewellery business retailing necklaces, Earrings and Rings. Catching up with the gold trend, their pieces are 18 Karat gold plated and timeless.
THE GREEN BAR
The Green Bar is a Bahraini apothecary crafting skin care brand with botanical and native medicinal plants – founded by Reem Al Khalifa.
